cmV35AdminState is a read-only enumeration reporting the administratively configured state of a V.35 port -- disabled, enabled, or shutdown. An administrator checks this to confirm whether a non-functioning V.35 circuit was intentionally shut down rather than experiencing a real fault. For example, if a customer reports their V.35 circuit is down and cmV35AdminState shows shutdown(3), the operator would re-enable the port administratively before looking for a hardware issue.
